They’ve passed the payroll tax holiday, the STOCK Act is moving and the highway bill looks like it will stumble to the finish line. So now House Republicans are back to a familiar dilemma: what to do next.

In a private party meeting Tuesday morning, GOP leaders showed their conference a Power Point slide with six broad categories that they hope will help guide the rest of the year: “tax reform,” “budget control and entitlement solvency,” “American energy,” “ObamaCare repeal,” “reducing regulatory burden” and “oversight.”

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said the plan was born out of conversations at the party’s recent retreat in Baltimore and designed to serve the needs of a both conservative and moderate Republicans.

“[W]e have to be smart, focused, and mindful of the consequences of our efforts on the full conference, not just those of us in 70% districts,” Boehner said, according to a source in the room, referring to safe GOP districts.

That leadership is laying out legislative options for 2012 shows that the party’s election-year plan is still in serious flux. And with control of the Senate up for grabs and the fight for the White House showing no sign of subsiding, it’s unclear what legislation could clear Congress this year in any case.

Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), who has long argued the party should focus on helping small businesses, told the conference Tuesday morning that the party needs to wage a “long public campaign” for tax reform. To that end, Republicans are going to try pass legislation that would cut small business taxes by 20 percent.

Cantor, according to a source present, said the party should focus on repealing President Barack Obama’s health care law by aiming to strip out pieces with bipartisan opposition, rather than staging partisan floor votes.
